In case anyone it's helpful to anyone, they have crazy hours. They are open 10-2 and 5-8. At least, that's what the sign said. I was there at 1:50, and they were closed already. I guess I'll try again tomorrow! It did look like they had a great ... Read More

I'm also a vegetarian, and agree with Mudman on everything. I don't work, and have spent many days scouring the stores for ingredients and things to make ingredients from. Usually to no avail. Libya isn't exactly on the health kick the states are, ... Read More
